| I bought a used gasser to try after seeing a few fly. I was intriged about low fuel cost of course but liked the grace, size and torque of the gasser. It was not easy going from a Raptor type heli to a Miniature Aircraft 1005 Gasser. I almost gave up at times. The tuning of a gasser was abit mystifying at first especially when the breakin takes so much longer than a nitro. Hard to know if the needles are set right on a new motor because it will take time to settle in.
Then there's the pucker factor with so much heavy expensive mass up there churning away never mind the different flying style required to let the gasser fly it's best. At the field I am the only gasser there and guys are amazed with the gasser. They say,,"it's so smooth" "it flies on rails" "maybe I should get one" etc...
The result of all this is I am HOOKED on gassers,,I will keep my Raptor for kicks but expect to buy a Spectra this winter.
Gassrs seem to suit me much more than a slam bam thankyou mam nitro,,,[although they are fun sometimes] This forum has been so helpful with so many knowlegable people here and I thankyou all. I used the search funtion alot!
I am SOLD on Gassers....case closed
Setup is everything, All my heli's can fly better than I can pilot them |
